Dylan’s artwork explores the boundaries of human perception through the manipulation of light, space, and the physical properties of glass. Dylan’s fascination with glass began as an elective in college after taking an introductory art course. Martinez studied the physical sciences for his major and outdoor education as a minor. His curiosity about the natural world and the intricacies of how it all operated fascinated him. Understanding just how to control molten glass became a major focus for several years of his practice.
